Arminius Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Is this medal for a "general royal visit use" or has it been issued for a certain visit? Ca. 1910-1936 AD., Bronze Medal (21,5 mm / 3,11 g), original integral suspension loop removed, Obv.: KING GEORGE V. AND QUEEN MARY , their heads facing left, above, a crown with oak and laurel branches. Rev.: COMMEMORATING - THE ROYAL VISIT / HONI SOIT QUI - MAL Y PENSE , around crowned circle containing three shields with arms of England, Scotland and Ireland. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I would guess generic, there are so many named medals for their visits to places in the UK, I assume someone had the idea to make a universal one.

Scottishmoney Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 At first glance I thought it was one that the Royal Canadian Mint did during a royal visit in 1935 or so, but this design does appear to be a generic British produced piece for distribution for sale wherever the royals visited. The Canadian piece is in some of the older Canadian catalogues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
